Oneof the electives in the program is an advanced HDL class. Under this setup, students would takebetween 15–19 credits with large programming components. With the ever enlarging scope ofinformation students have to obtain in their limited 4-year college career, the large number ofcredits dedicated to programming was limiting the space for core or elective EE courses.

They develop a sense of how to make tradeoffs between cost, quality, andschedule, and the role of quality, reliability, and manufacturability in design.

The chief principle of engineering is the manipulation of the physical world forthe betterment of humankind, and thus most engineering students require the knowledge thatresults from hands-on experience2,3. As a result, it is important to incorporate a variety oflaboratory experiences into engineering courses, as these experiences prepare students for entryinto the profession of engineering.Engineering programs at liberal arts-focused universities face the challenge of fitting laboratoryspecific courses into their curriculum, as students are expected to become well
